Just hours after Apple TV shipped out of Apple’s Warehouse, it has been jailbroken yet again by iPhone Dev Team! In fact, it only took them 5 hours to successfully jailbreak and shoot the below video.

We all know that new Apple TV do not have any storage and only supports streaming rental from Apple. But what we also know is that Apple TV is running on iOS 4.1. It has 8GB of internal Storages, with 256mb of ram and runs on Apple’s A4 Processor, to be honest, the specifications looks like a 8GB iPhone 3GS with a new A4 Processor. We have seen in the previous Apple TV Review and saw that Apple TV play 720p very smoothly. Quite impress with Apple’s Streaming Service as they are quite new in this field.

Nevertheless, a jailbroken Apple TV means there will be countless of hacks, Custom Codec to play all formats of video? 1080p output? iOS App supports? Emulators? External Hard Disk Support? Who knows what will be coming, but we are very excited!

Apple have released iOS 4.1 for quite sometime, but we haven’t seen any jailbreak tools out there for iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4G for iOS 4.1. Are we having problem with jailbreaking them now?

No, iPhone Dev Team just demo to us, SHAtter on iOS 4.1 jailbroken on a new iPod Touch 4G.

There is no ETA or official date of release for this jailbreak, but I’m sure iPhone Dev Team is already working day and night to push this jailbreak out, as they want to release the tool before the release of iOS 4.2.

Many iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS users have been complaining that their iPhone gotten sluggish and slow after updating to iOS 4 and above. There are many “un-proven” methods out there to improve the performance like hard-reset and restoring. But the only real way to solve this issue is to restore back to iOS 3.1.3 from iOS 4.

We all know that restoring previous version is a troublesome way, but it will be bringing back your old fast iPhone. So follow the guide below to restore your iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS from iOS 4 to iOS 3.1.3

Step 1: Download iOS 3.1.3 and RecBoot

You will need the old iOS 3.1.3 Firmware file to do a restore, you can download iOS 3.1.3 here:

Step 2: Putting your iPhone into DFU Mode:

In order to do a restore, you need to put your iPhone into DFU Mode, so follow the steps below or watch the YouTube Video and follow the steps.

Plug in your iPhone.

Open up your iTunes

Power it down by holding the sleep/lock button and sliding to power off.

Once it’s powered down, press and hold both the sleep/lock button and the home button for ten seconds.

After ten seconds, release the power button but continue holding down the home button.

If you did it right, iTunes will pop up a window (like the one below) telling you that it’s detected an iPhone in recovery mode and your iPhone’s screen will be black. If it didn’t work, start from the beginning and try again.

Step 3 Actual Restoring Process

Once your got into DFU Mode, your iTunes should prompt your with such a message.

Dismiss the alert prompt by clicking OK, then go to your iPhone under Device sidebar in iTunes.

If you are on Windows, Hold on Shift key and click on restore, if you are on Mac, hold on to Option and click on Restore

iTunes will prompt you to select restore file, select the iOS 3.1.3 file you just downloaded.

The iPhone will start to restore, the whole process will take around 10-15mins.

Once the iPhone finish restoring, you will be prompt this error

Don’t worry! Open up RecBoot file which you just downloaded, click on Exit Recovery Mode and you are done!

You can check out the YouTube Video on the restoring process if you are not sure below:

Step 4 Restore your Backup and Sync

By this point, you should be almost done, now you just need to restore your iPhone from your old backup and sync the apps and media back to your iPhone.

Earlier this week, Comex have released the new web-based jailbreak on the web. So what is the killer feature if you get your iPhone 4 jailbroken? FaceTime, you can now do FaceTime on 3G network and no longer need any WiFi Connection!

Many of you might have encounter issues when you try to jailbreak using the newly launch Jailbreakme.com page. I was stuck at the purple screen after I did the “slide to jailbreak” action. So this is what I did which solve the issue and can continue to jailbreak. I don’t think it is a solution, but it is kind of a workaround.

Steps to prevent being stuck at purple Screen:

Put your iPhone on Airplane Mode

Go to Settings -> Safari – >Cookies -> Always Accept

Double Tap on your Home Button

Press and Hold to quit your Safari (Multi-Task)

Go back to Settings – > Safari – > Clear all Cache, History and Cookies

Now you can jailbreak your iPhone without downloading anything or do anything to it, Simply go to a webpage and your iPhone can be jailbroken! Thanks to Comex, now jailbreaking of iPhone is now online.

Just within 24 hours after Gold Master iOS4 was release it is now jailbroken. GoldMaster Release is the version of OS/ Program that is very close to the official release version. It is normally released for App Developer or programmers to test their software before the official launch of a OS/Software.

The Good news is that iOS4 can be say as jailbreakable, thus we shouldn’t have worry like iPhone OS 3.1.3 where we have to wait for almost 3-4months for Spirit to save our life!
